Naruto: A Change In Time

Warning: Arganaut does not own any character in Naruto. Kishimoto owns it all. I wonder who has more money; and the results are in, Kishimoto may just have more money than Bill Gates!!!

Hey there all, Arganaut back with the update for this story. Now then, as many of you may know, I have discontinued N: AAS for the reasons that I had basically turned it into a crack fic. So, the bad news is, that I won't be writing that story anymore, the good news is, that now I will most likely have more time to develop ideas for this story. Anyway, sorry for the long update, I've been trying to come up with an idea for the second exam stage for a while now.

But I've come up with a pretty good one, in my opinion. However, though it may seem a bit primal, I would like you all to remember. That this is taking place all the way back in Jiraiya's days, I would think that perhaps the Chunin Exams would be a bit less complicated then Naruto's exams. After all, 38 years can change a lot of things. Now then, if you want to see what the exam is... well you're going to have to read.

Also, I have created an original technique in this chapter, it will be explained after I have finished writing the entire chapter.

So let's get the reviews done so that we can get on with the story;

rasengan86- Yeah, he's better than Mrs. Cleo that's for sure.

Dragon Man 180- GENIUS! A NARA! OF COURSE! I must plan!

Psycho King- Well like I said earlier, due to the peace being a Shinobi just isn't seen as... too profitable of a job, so of course when doing things that deal with it things are going to be more lax.

T.O.B.- Fourth and his future wife.

True Shadow Gohan- If you like this one, check out my others.

Well that's all of the reviews, for now, so let's get a move on with the next chapter of Naruto: A Change In Time!!!

WARNING: DUE TO ABSOLUTELY NO CHARACTER BEING ALIVE DURING JIRAIYA'S AND TSUNADE'S CHUNIN EXAMS, MANY OC'S (A ton of them unnamed, hell cross that, almost all of them will be unnamed) WILL BE PLACE FOR THE SAKE OF THE FIC! NO FLAMES OR ELSE I'LL FLAME YOU BACK TWICE AS HARD AND I CAN ALREADY FLAME REALLY HARD!!!

Chapter 5: The Second Stage, Blood Pit.

"Mhmm..." Jiraiya murmered as Jiraiya woke up in the middle of my dreamscape. Jiraiya noticed that it was highly damaged... most likely due to whatever the hell happened to it at the end of the last dream Jiraiya had in this place. Jiraiya suddenly sighed as he sat down. "Man... and this place was beautiful too." He muttered as he looked around. The flowers were either burnt, crushed, or torn out of the ground. The trees were either torn out of the ground by their roots, or they were burnt to ashes. The sky was no longer cloudless... now storm clouds had formed, lightning flashing out of them.

"Well... I have very little chance of meeting anyone here..." He muttered as suddenly the wind started gusting all around me.

"Is that so Ero-sensei?" Jiraiya heard from behind me as my eyes widened. He stood up to looked behind me... only to find empty fields there. He sighed as he shook his head.

"I must of just been hearing things..." Jiraiya said as he slapped his head. "I'm in a freakin' dream, how can I hear things in my dreams?" He asked as suddenly blew up again.

"Hmm... sounds like you need to see a shrink Ero-sensei! Hahahaha." He heard the voice say again as the wind blew even stronger then before. Jiraiya turned around this time... and this time he saw that his dreamscape had begun to change again. The flowers were slowly but surely growing back. The sky began to clear as the bright sun began to shine once again. The trees began to blossom as leaves began growing back on them, their bark also beginning to reform. The ashes were blown away into the sky, and then transformed into birds.

Jiraiya gaped as the dreamscape regrew, not just to its former glory, but far beyond it. It had become more captivating then it was before. Jiraiya smiled as he took in a deep breath of his dreamscape's fresh air. He loved the smell of it, the look of it, and the calm he felt as he stood in the middle of it. "HEY ERO-SENSEI! STOP DAY DREAMING AND LOOK OVER HERE!" The voice shouted as Jiraiya winced at the level of the noise. Jiraiya turned around , just as the petals began blowing around.

This time... not just yellow, and green petals... but red, and white petals as well. They began flying around a certain area... and, unlike the previous times, they didn't just make the area disappear in a haze. They became a figure, with the colors of the petals going into their correct place. Jiraiya watched with untamed curiousity as the petals went to their assigned place... the white and red petals... forming a very familiar shape. As the petals created a full body of a human, about a foot shorter then Jiraiya, walked foward... the petals began falling off, revealing the human being underneath it.

Jiraiya stared with widened eyes as he looked at the 'brat' in front of him. The brat was certainly taller then before, like he said he was about a foot shorter then him now. His spikey blonde hair had reached down to his shoulders as well. His eyes, though they still held the mirth they had held during Jiraiya's previous visit, were far more adult then before. His face had finally shaped all the way out, becoming more chiseled. He held a wide smirk on his face as he looked at Jiraiya. He was wearing a flask jacket, most commonly seen on Jonin, with black ninja-grade pants, and black ninja-grade sandals. He still had a good old-fashion Konoha head-band on... but it was the new addition to his style that shocked Jiraiya.

He was wearing the black and red cape that was normally worn by the Hokage... Jiraiya stared at the, apparent Kage, standing in front of him, and said Kage was staring back at him with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, Ero-sensei... do I have something in my teeth?" He asked as he took off head-band , and used the metal plate to check to see if anything was in his smile. Jiraiya chuckled at first, catching the brat's attention, and then Jiraiya went into full force laughter as the Hokage just stared at him. "What's so funny?" He asked as Jiraiya pointed at him.

"You!" He shouted as the brat raised an eyebrow at him. "I can't believe that someone like you, a brat for that matter, actually became the Hokage!" Jiraiya shouted as a pulsing vein appeared on the back of the 'brat's' head.

"Shut it Ero-sensei!" He shouted as he hit Jiraiya over the head with his fist. "I swear, I come to tell you some good news, and you go ahead and start making fun of my position... AGAIN!" He shouted as Jiraiya looked up at him.

"Huh? Good news?" He asked as he got up and dusted himself off. "What kind of good news?" He asked as the brat calmed down and pointed off in the distance. Jiraiya looked to see the figure of a woman, most likely the young girl he had seen last time but older... the reason he said older was because... well...

"HOLY HELL HER STOMACH'S A MELON!" Jiraiya shouted as suddenly he was hit over the head with the brat's fist, again, as he was sent flying tot he ground. He looked up to see the woman looking in their general direction, and she waved with one hand while the other was resting on her melon stomach. The brat waved back with a smile on his face, until he suddenly lifted Jiraiya onto his feet and looked at him straight in the face.

"I told you before..." He growled out at poor, beaten Jiraiya. "She's sensitive about her weight and her stomach... she's a hormonal mess right now..." He growled out as he pointed at her. "If you make her go crazy, I swear to God that she will kill us all..." He said as he brought Jiraiya closer. "I don't care if you do that with your own wife, but then again, your not the one who has to pay if you do it to my wife..." He said as he let go of Jiraiya and ran off to the woman.

"My own wife... what the hell is he talking..." Jiraiya said out loud as he suddenly caught his drift.

'Tsunade?' He thought as he suddenly turned around, only to see another figure out in the distance. She had a melon stomach as well... but Jiraiya could tell that it was Tsunade. Jiraiya slowly smiled... till he heard the sound of a woman screaming. He turned around... only to find himself face to face with a large snout that was blowing wind at him. Jiraiya looked beyond the snout... to see a redish-orange fur colored, red-eyed fox-demon staring back at him.

The fox-demon smiled at him as he stared hungrily at Jiraiya. "You dare to stand before me!? You dare to stand before the Kyuubi!?" It asked as Jiraiya just stood there shaking his in sandals. It began laughing, causing Jiraiya to fall over from the gusts of wind coming at him. Then, he heard the sound of a bady crying, as the brat jumped in front of him, clad in his Hokage outfit.

"Brat?" He asked as suddenly he noticed a bady in the brat's arms, with the same color hair as the brat. Suddenly a symbol appeared on the Hokage's hand, as he rammed it into the laughing demon's jaw... causing the entire area... to turn white. The last thing Jiraiya saw in his dream... was the brat falling down, with the child slowly falling out of his arms.

Jiraiya's Room

"AAHHHH!" Jiraiya shouted as he practically shot out from under the covers. As he shot up, he began shaking around... he noticed that he was shaking because he was on the side of the bed and he was about to fall off... in fact he did. He fell completely off the bed and onto the floor. Jiraiya groaned a bit as he rubbed his head...

RING RING RING

His alarm clock ringed as it began vibrating on the table, falling of the table and hitting Jiraiya on the head. Jiraiya yelped as he put his hands on his head and began nursing the sore spot on his head. Then suddenly Jiraiya's mother rushed in, with a slightly worried look on her face. "Jiraiya, are you alright?" She asked as Jiraiya looked at his mother with a small smile on his face, trying to hide the little bit of confusion that was on his face moments ago.

"Yeah mom I'm okay... it was just a bad dream..." He said as his mother nodded and exited the room. After she did Jiraiya stopped smiling, and adopted a worried look on his face. "It was just a dream... wasn't it..." He said as he stood up. "Its all... so real..." He said as he picked up his clock. He looked at the time and noticed that he had awaken just in time (however, he should have been able to tell that from when his alarm went off). Jiraiya sighed as he went to his closet.

He came out, dressed in his normal attire, and then went into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and washed his face, combed a bit of his hair, and then left the bathroom. He checked himself out in the mirror, and sighed as he walked downstairs. His mother and father were downstairs... and had eaten breakfast. His mother smiled at him as he came down. "Hello Jiraiya, would you like some breakfast?" She asked as Jiraiya shook his head no.

"Sorry mom, but I gotta get going to the second exam." Jiraiya said as his mother sighed.

"Well... if you really have to get going so fast..." His mother said as she smiled at him. "Good luck Jiraiya, make us proud!" She said as she hugged her son and he just stood there, still.

"Mom.." He muttered as she looked at him with eyes filled with mirth.

"I'm sorry, I'm just proud of you is all." She said as she and Jiraiya looked over at his father, who simply gave him a thumbs up.

"Good luck kid, and do us a favor, PASS!" He shouted as he turned around to smirk at Jiraiya. Jiraiya smiled back at his father as he ran out the door, and began running towards the training grounds that they were told to go to yesterday.

"Training grounds thirteen... wonder why I've never been there before..." Jiraiya muttered as he walked down the street. He then got to the training grounds... and saw exactly why he had not been here before. The place was... an arena. Well, not really an arena, for it didn't have any stadium seating, nor did it really have gates (in all honesty it was a pit with the bottom having an arena design). So, you could call it a pit... and the pit arena had blood spots in some places across certain areas.

The arena itself was a forest with a large lake in the middle of it. Blood was on trees, on stones, and one could even see a bit of it in the lake in the center of the arena. Then, all of a sudden, Sarutobi started rising from the lake, shocking many. 'Wow, sensei sure knows how to make an entrance.' Jiraiya thought as Sarutobi completely emerged from the pond and then began walking towards the shore of it.

"Konoha training ground thirteen... otherwise known as the Blood Pit." He said as many gulped. "In this pit, many mock battles are held between Jonin and ANBU, in order to help further train them." He said as he touched the shore. "Now then, the battles aren't to the death... but as you can see several injuries can come upon the fighters in this arena." He said as many nodded. "It is also where you four teams will be taking you four teams will be taking your second exam." Sarutobi said as many murmers began erupting from the twelve participants, as well as many spectators.

"Now then, this is how we're going to do it. As I said, there are four teams of three here. You all will once again rally together, except in this case, instead of trying to find answers to help each other, you will help each other to win a battle against another team." Sarutobi said as the murmers erupted again. "The purpose of this stage of the exam is to see whether or not the training that many of you have gone through in the arts of teamwork have gotten through your heads." Sarutobi said as the murmers began dieing down.

Sarutobi spread out his arms to show off the entire pit arena. "This arena has the materials for any jutsu any of you could possibly use, during your fights, use it wisely." He said as suddenly four ANBU leapt in front of the pit and pulled out four scrolls. "In each of the scrolls are the names of the people in the individual teams you will be fighting as well as the village they are alligned with. We will give you an hour to analyze this information to your full advantage... use it wisely." Sarutobi said as the ANBU walked foward and handed Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru their scroll.

They all opened it up and began reading the scrolls. The names didn't really strike them... however the name of the country did strike them as highly important. "... Kumogakure..." They all muttered at once as they looked at the Kumo-nin, who looked at least a couple years older then them, and who, at the time, were looking at them with wide smirks on their faces.

"Now then, let the hour begin." Sarutobi said as an ANBU popped right beside him and handed him another scroll. "And the first teams will be fighting are the..." Sarutobi said as his eyes widened a bit. "The team from Kumogakure versus Konohagakure..." He said as Jiraiya's and Tsunade's neck hair stood on end, while Orochimaru just shook a bit, while the Kumo-nin were just laughing their asses off as they went to a seperate spot where they could plan.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru just stood there, Tsunade's and Jiraiya's jaws hanging open while Orochimaru just barely began to sweat. "We're dead aren't we?" Tsunade asked as Orochimaru sighed and ran a hand through his head while Jiraiya fainted right on the spot. "Thought so..." She said as she fainted as well.

Sarutobi watched as two-thirds of his team fainted and he sighed. "Hopefully... they'll be able to pull together." He said as he just leapt up from the pit.

An Hour Later

It had taken only fifteen minutes for Orochimaru to wake up Tsunade and Jiraiya, another fifteen minutes to stop them while they ran around, shaking they're arms all around and screaming like lunatics, and then five minutes to convince them that there was still hope, another fifteen minutes of trying to make a plan, three minutes to realize they couldn't come up with a thing, and then another twelve minutes to stop them from panicking. And they actually had good reason for panic.

Kumogakure was notorious for the way they treated Konoha shinobi in the last Great Ninja War... and Jiraiya and Tsunade had all the reason to think that they were going to die. Now then, the battle was going to take place soon, the two teams crawling down into the pit to face each other. They walked to the opposite ends of the lake, facing each other as the Kumo-nin smirked, and our Konoha-nin were shaken slightly. Sarutobi then jumped into the center of the lake and looked at the two teams. He sighed as he raised his hand.

"Ready..." He asked as he looked at both teams again. "BEGIN!" He shouted as he jumped out of the ring, and the battle commenced.

In the next instant the three Kumo-nin threw kunai at Jiraiya's group, and Jiraiya's group threw shuriken to counter the kunai. The kunai andd shuriken struck each other, and bounced back. Two of the Kumo-nin ran foward, grabbed their kunai, and then through it back to their third teamate. The third teamate then threw the kunai at Jiraiya's group, and they dodged out of the way. However, by dodging, the two Kumo-nin came up and, in one case, slid under Orochimaru and kicked him into the back, sending him foward into the lake. The other grabbed Tsunade's arm, swung her into Jiraiya, and sent them both into the lake.

The three Kumo-nin then scattered, each of them going to a point around the lake, so that they would form a triangle around the lake. They then started flashing through several seals before they all formed the ram seal, and sparks of lightning began flashing on their fingertips. "Lightning Release!" They all shouted as they pointed the tips of their fingers toward the lake. "Bolt!" They all shouted as suddenly Jiraiya jumped out of the lake, dragging Tsunade and Orochimaru with him, while the Kumo-nin shot a bolt of lightning into the lake, electrifying it.

Then suddenly the three Kumo-nin suddenly straightened up, turning both fingers into half of a Ram seal, and then putting the left hand in front of their chest, while putting the other one in front of them, the tip pointing towards the electrified water. "Kumogakure Secret Ninja Art..." They muttered as the water began sparking like crazy. "CURRENT ARCH TECHNIQUE!" They shouted as they then pointed their finger towards the group, and suddenly a bolt of lightning shot from the water and towards the three Konoha-nin.

Orochimaru's eyes widened as he threw a kunai towards the bolt of lightning, causing it to conduct the bolt... however the force of the bolt caused the, now charged with lightning, kunai to be thrown right back at the Konoha-nin. All of their eyes widened as suddenly Orochimaru cracked his neck, and extended it. He grabbed the kunai with his teeth, and before the charge could do too much to the snake-nin, twisted his neck around a few times, and then tossed it right back to one of the Kumo-nin.

Then suddenly, the Kumo-nin who was about to get hit by the kunai, simply pointed the half of a seal of his towards the kunai. He shouted the same technique as before, but this time he did a full 360 degree spin, bringing the kunai with him, and then let go of the technique as soon as the spin was complete, causing it to be fired right back at the three. Orochimaru, who had just put his neck back into place, found himself unable to act in time, however Jiraiya did.

Jiraiya grabbed both Tsunade and Orochimaru by one of their shoulders, and then spun once and tossed them to different parts of the lake that were unoccupied by the Kumo-nin. He then began doing a front flip while flying through seals. "Needle Guardian!" Jiraiya shouted as suddenly his hair started growing at an amazingly fast rate, and as he spun foward, the hair began spinning around him, covering him. The electrified kunai struck Jiraiya's hair, and bounced off, leaving only a bit of charred hair in its place.

Jiraiya's hair retracted, and when he could see again he was greeted with the sight of three kunai coming towards him. However, the three kunai were deflected by another three kunai, courtesy of Tsunade, leaving Jiraiya safe for the moment. As the Kumo-nin geared up to throw more kunai at Jiraiya Orochimaru's neck had already extended all the way up to Jiraiya's position. "Hold on I'll pull you... EAH!" He shouted as Jiraiya grabbed his neck. "GhI'll ghet you lhater (I'll get you later)." He choked out as he retracted his neck just in time to keep Jiraiya from being impaled by three kunai.

When Jiraiya landed, he noticed that his group had gotten back together on one side of the lake, while the other group had done the same on the opposite side of the lake. Thye were going through the seals for their lightning jutsu, just as Jiraiya and Orochimaru began going through their own. "Lightning Release!" They shouted as they prepared... unfortunetly for them they were far too slow in firing up their jutsus, for Orochimaru and Jiraiya had already gotten theirs down.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Orochimaru shouted as he put his hand to his lips.

"Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as he put his fingers, in a whistling position, to his lips.

The two released their jutsus, however both jutsu interfered with one and the other. The jutsu, had in effect, guided each other down to the lake. Just when Jiraiya and Orochimaru were about to kill each other, they noticed that large amounts of steam were being created by Jiraiya's jutsu, and it was being blown into the Kumo-nin by Orochimaru's, causing them to yelp due to the high temperature of the steam. Jiraiya and Orochimaru smirk as they increased the amount of chakra in their jutsus, causing not only more, but hotter steam being made, but also more of it being blown at the Kumo-nin.

They let go of their jutsu, and this time Tsunade grabbed both of them by their collars and pulled them into some bushes, before they could be seen. The steam died down, the Kumo-nin came into view, with some mild burns on their arms, face, hands, and just about everywhere else they could have been burnt by the steam. They looked around, with a very pissed off look on their face, hoping to find their pains in the ass before they could start up some more trouble.

Meanwhile, team Sarutobi was hiding in the brush, talking over a new strategy... or agruing very quietly, hard to tell. "You're an idiot Jiraiya!" Orochimaru whispered angrily as Jiraiya just looked at him with an indignent look.

"What did I do?" Jiraiya whispered as Orochimaru glared at him.

"You nearly choked me to death!" He whispered as Jiraiya shrugged.

"Isn't that what you wanted me to do?" He whispered as a pulsing vein appeared on Orochimaru's head.

"No! I was going to wrap my neck around your arm, and THEN pull you in!" Orochimaru whispered angrily as Jiraiya sweat dropped as he quietly snickered.

"Oh... sorry..." He said as Orochimaru sighed and he looked at his teamates.

"All right then... so we need a good, quick plan." He said as Tsunade tapped her chin and then looked at each of her teamates with a small smirk. She motioned for them to come closer into a huddle. They did, and some whispering went between the three, Jiraiya occasionally snickering at the plan. Meanwhile, the three Kumo-nin were standing at their side of the lake, sparks of electricity on their fingertips, ready to fire at a moments notice.

Then suddenly they heard something to their right, they looked to see Jiraiya, standing on the edge of the lake going through seals. They smirked as they were about to electrify the poor little Genin... however they were made busy by the three kunai heading their way. They quickly sent their bolts at the kunai, causing them to be deflected into the water, electrifying it moderately. They saw Tsunade standing on other part of the lake which a wide smile on her face. She stuck her tounge out at the Kumo-nin for a reason they couldn't place... until they heard a voice behind them.

"Wind Release." They heard as they turned around, and looked right into a pair of snake-like eyes. "Great Breakthrough!" Orochimaru shouted as he blew a gust of wind into the Kumo-nin, causing them to be blown back into the waters of the lake, which since it was electrically charged, stunned them for a little bit. They tried to get out of the water, but their numbed limbs would not allow it. Finally Jiraiya finished his seals, and looked at the kumo-nin with a widened grin.

"You're finished." He said as he slammed his hand into the ground. "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as suddenly a marsh began spreading out from his hand. The swamp reached the edge of the lake, and went under it, then a few seconds later the lake became more and more swamp like, until the entire lake was like the swamp effect of the jutsu. Then Jiraiya and Orochimaru went to work, going through another set of seals.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Orochimaru shouted as he put his hand to his lips.

"Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as he put his fingers, in a whistling position, to his lips.

Jiraiya let loose a giant fireball onto the swamp, and Orochimaru began manipulating the wind in his jutsu to force the fireball all around the swamp area. When they were done they released their jutsu, and looked at their handiwork with pride. They hand completely incased the Kumo-nin within the hardened swamp area. Jiraiya rubbed his nose, while Orochimaru simply smirked, and Tsunade began jumping up and down with joy. Sarutobi simply smiled at this display as he raised his hand.

"Since the Kumogakure nin can no longer fight by way of disabling their movement, the Konohagakure nin win this match, and the members will move onto the finals." Sarutobi shouted as Jiraiya and Tsunade began leaping up and down as Orochimaru just sighed and smirked. They all leapt up back to the outside of the pit at the Kumo-nin were chipped out of the swamp by ANBU. Sarutobi approached each of them with a slip of paper in his hand and handed each of them a piece. "This paper contains the location and time of the last exam." Sarutobi said as they all nodded.

"Its in one week, once again, use it wisely." He said as the Kumo-nin were taken out of the pit, and he shouted for the second round to begin. Team Sarutobi was a bit exhausted from the fight, so they all agreed to meet each other at the location in a week... however Orochimaru decided to stay behind and watch the matches, while Tsunade and Jiraiya just decided to get some rest...

The last part of this stage in their lives was about to end...

Well, if it wasn't clear in my writing, hope it clears it up. Hope that you all enjoyed this chapter, and remember, R&R!!!
